NHTSA recall 17V292000
Suspension · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2014 XLR hyperlite toyhaulers. These vehicles have an axle equalizer knurled bolt (axle shackle locating bolt) that may not be properly seated in the chassis axle hanger.
Why it matters: If the equalizer knurled bolt is not installed properly, the bolt may not properly secure the axle, allowing it to shift and result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and dealers will replace any equalizer knurled bolts and nuts that were improperly installed, free of charge. The recall began on June 7, 2017.
